Your EAP has more features and functionalities which can be found in the User Guide. Conventions Unless otherwise noted, the EAP or the device mentioned in this guide stands for 300Mbps Wireless N Access Point EAP110, Wireless N Gigabit Access Point EAP120 and EAP220.

4 Network Topology A typical network topology for the EAP is shown below. Internet Controller Host EAP Controller Switch Router EAP Clients To deploy an EAP in your local network, a DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses to the EAP and clients. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server. Ensure the EAPs are in the same subnet with the Controller Host in which the EAP Controller software is installed. The EAP can be managed by the EAP Controller software, which is a management software specially designed for the TP-LINK EAP devices on a local wireless network, allowing you to centrally configure and monitor mass EAP devices using a web browser on your PC. The EAP can also work independently as a standalone device. 01
